Hmm - just reviewed this picture and remembered my custom emblem on the front grille...
Very nice SRT-8 David. I am in the process of getting an 09 Jeep GC SRT-8. Bone stock...for now. :coolgleamA:

I guess I'm a sports car people. I've been a member of the Sports Car Club of America since 1976.
I've autocrossed many weekends of those years, and road-raced since 1996. I'm getting pretty lazy about that the last few years.
Daily driver is a 2007 Shelby GT Mustang, or a 1998 BMW Z3.
If it's rainy, I'm in my old pickup.

Dear goodness, Rex B, if my son caught a look at the RX7 of yours, he'd be moving in. He loves road racing and autocross and has been looking for someone to show him how it's done!

T Lynn, if you are near DFW, drop me a PM. There's a race this weekend in Cresson.
Otherwise, I can hook him up in your area.

This is what he needs :mrgreen: (its for sale):

Well I'm not much of a go fast guy just because I can't afford it. I do however fix up old trucks. I'm currently working on three.

First is a true military vehicle. It's a 1986 M1009 CUCV. It was introduced to the military as a cheaper alternative to the HMMWV. Many are being sold at auction now by the government. I got mine for less than a grand with 19k miles on her. Many mods so far.

My next fixer upper is a 1984 Toyota FJ60. 284k miles on it and still runs good and everything is tight. A few mods so far and I'm looking at dropping a diesel in her. Also looking at some bumpers and a lift kit.

The last truck I currently own and work on is a 1986 Chevrolet 2500 Diesel 4x4 Suburban. I got it from the forestry service for right at a grand. Runs good and has about 60k miles on her. This one has my soon to be bride on the hood.

My son drives a Pontiac G8 GT with a 6.0 liter LS2/LS3 motor. That thing is a sleeper. Looks like a daddy car, but it is stinkin' fast.
